Local synchronization
Open standard 
Synchronization is possible with almost any groupware 
or office program, since the synchronization method 
complies with the open standard IrMC 1.1, as specified 
by the Infrared Data Association – reference http://
www.irda.org. IrMC 1.1 brings together the following 
standards:
vCard 2.1 for address book information 
vCalendar 1.0 for appointment and to-do 
information 
ObEx (Object Exchange) for data exchange
Bluetooth wireless technology or infrared
The T610/612 synchronizes using the same protocol, 
regardless of connection type. It connects via Bluetooth 
wireless technology, infrared or cable. The cable is 
connected either directly to the phone or to the desktop 
charger.
Automatic synchronization
When infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology is 
switched on in the phone, the synchronization process 
starts automatically, as soon as the phone is within range 
of a compatible port on a PC or handheld device (a 
suitable synchronization program must be running on the 
device).
Intelligent process
A synchronization engine performs the task of 
synchronizing. For local synchronization, the 
synchronization engine is an application that runs on the 
desktop computer. The synchronization engine 
compares, updates and resolves conflicts to ensure that 
the information in the phone is the same as that in the 
computer.
Local synchronization software and the 
T610/612
PCs equipped with XTNDConnect PC For Ericsson will 
perform synchronization with Microsoft Outlook. For 
other groupware environments (Lotus Notes, etc.), the 
full version of XTNDConnect PC is required. By using 
Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared or the RS 232 
Cable, you can easily perform a fast, local 
synchronization. 
Integration between XTNDConnect PC For Ericsson and 
Microsoft Outlook provides an embedded menu for one-
key synchronization.
To enhance functionality and compatibility further, the 
synchronization software can easily be upgraded.
The number of units that can talk to each other is 
unlimited. One phone can be partner with several PCs. 
This ensures that information from both the work PC and 
the home PC can be synchronized with the phone. For 
users that have both a desktop PC and a laptop (free 
version XTNDConnect PC) or a PDA (free version 
XTNDConnect PC), it is an efficient way to synchronize 
data with the phone. This way, data can also be 
transferred between PCs to keep them in sync.
If the synchronization software is upgraded to a full 
version of XTNDConnect PC, one PC can be partnered 
with several different phones. This is vital if, for 
example, each member in a work group has his/her own 
T610/612, and needs to synchronize with a PC. It makes 
it easy, for example, to download a common company 
phone directory to the phone book in each company 
mobile phone. With the full version of the 
synchronization software, other phone types and 
handheld devices, such as PDAs and Windows CE 
computers, can also be synchronized.
XTNDConnect PC For Ericsson
This synchronization software can be downloaded from 
www.SonyEricssonMobile.com and provides a powerful 
set of functions:
T610/612 phone book and calendar synchronization 
with Microsoft Outlook.
An embedded synchronization in Microsoft Outlook, 
providing one-key synchronization and allowing the 
user to control the synchronization process with easy-
to-use settings.
